"To instill in the minds of the young the values of prayer, humility, and loving service to others, the homes have to be the first schools. The parents have to be imbued with faith in the basic universal truth of all religions. They must be seen worshiping at the family altar, meditating in silence, forgiving faults in others, and showing sympathy for pain and grief. Children should not see them worried, helpless, discontent, or distressed, as if they have no God to lean upon, no inner resource of strength and courage to fall back on."

-- SS 5:335; Meeting of Headmasters, 3-4-67

Parents can attend the SSE Teacher Training workshops or read the teacher manual to become educated about the program and Swami's message to the parents. Parents should actively participate in the Parent Study Group which is an important part of the program. Special workshops for SSE Parents are conducted regionally.
